i have never waivered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act. the dispute, if there is one, has always been about how much of the remedy should come under federal or state or private purview. what gets lost is that the republican party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights. because republicans believe that the federal government is limited in its function, some have concluded that republicans are somehow inherently insensitive to minority rights. nothing could be further from the truth. republicans do, indeed, still believe many rights remain with the people and states respectively. when some people hear that, they tune us out and say, he's just using code words for the state's right to discriminate, for the state's right to segregate and abuse. but that's simply not true. many republicans do believe that decentralization of power is the best policy, that government is more efficient, more just, and more personal when it is smaller and more local. but republicans also realize that there are occasions of such egregious injus
